Elon Musk, who is said to be in negotiations with Reform UK to make a substantial donation, has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as the leader of the party, stating that Farage 'doesn't have what it takes' to lead. In a recent statement, Musk asserted that Reform UK needs a new leader, although it is unclear what prompted his remarks. The comments arrive shortly after Farage had praised Musk as a 'heroic figure', highlighting a sudden shift in their relationship. Earlier the same day, Farage and Richard Tice had defended Musk in media appearances. Multiple media outlets have reported on Musk's critique of Farage.
